The Dazzler 178 Cheshire Women's League Ma THE Appleton take 19-point lead in division one and move into two cup finals after being DAZZLER 178 Chester for fifth time … Trinity clinch division two and will be Appleton’s opposition in both finals … Upton’s Division 3 West celebrations delayed by Woodley loss, as Woodley contend for Division 3 East … League XI to play MCC announced CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Di vision One – July 29: Appleton (25pts) w/o Wistaston Village (minus 10pts) Didsbury v Oakmere – Match cancelled, 8pts each • Oakmere were unable to play today due to rain, but still stand a good chance of retaining the Championship if they can win their last three league matches, although should they beat rivals Appleton, the bonus points to which they can restrict their opponents could be crucial. Aug ust 5: Chester Boughton Hall 126 (37.3; Ali Cutler 39, Charlotte Thompson 24, Kathryn Jackson 3-25, Nathalie Long 3-29, Sami Fowler 2-8) (6pts) Appl eton 128-4 (30.5; Emma Barlow 86*, Cutler 2-16) (25pts) • A massive result for Appleton as they seek to close in on the Championship crown. Emma Barlow played another matchwinning innings as they beat Chester for a staggering fifth time this season – home and away in both Division One and the T20 Western Division, and a semi-final of the Knockout Cup. An Oakmere victory over Appleton next week could still change things, especially if Oakmere can also restrict Appleton’s bonus point tally. Wistaston Village 105 (31.1; Katie Bennett 54, Hannah Jones 4-9) (4pts) Didsbury 109-1 (22.1; Roshini Prince-Navaratnam 68*, Jones 23*) (25pts) • Katie Bennett’s classy innings took Wistaston to three figures, but their total was still not enough to trouble Didsbury. After scoring 26 from the first 11 overs, Roshini Prince-Navaratnam led the way as 83 more were scored in the next 11 overs and one ball. Division Two – July 29: Leigh v Stockport Trinity & Oxton v Stockport Georgians – Matches cancelled, 8pts each August 5: Stockport Trinity (25pts) w/o Ashton-on-Mersey (minus 10pts) • Without needing to take the field, Trinity secured the points to wrap up the division two title for 2018. They remain unbeaten in all competitions this year. Division Three West – July 26: Chester Boughton Hall 2nd XI 35-4 (12; Annette Axon 12, Charlie Scudder 2-6) (3pts) Upton 36-2 (5.3; Sophie Morris 25*) (25pts) (Reduced to 12 overs per side due to traffic accident in area) • Another comfortable victory for Upton as they took one step closer to the title. July 29: Nantwich 92-4 (Hannah Wilson 31, Ffion Evans 2-14) (25pts) Chester Boughton Hall 2nd XI 48 (19.4; Evans 12, Flo Seymour 2-3, Connie Jamson 2-6, Kelsey Barker 2-13) (3pts) • Nantwich seem destined to finish second behind Upton, but they have plenty to be proud of from their first ever season, and this was certainly another impressive performance in what was the only match to survive the weather on this day. Division Three East – July 23: Woodley 135-4 (20; Nic Derbyshire 29*, Georgie Morton 29*, Shumaila Zaman 3-23) (25pts) Didsbury 2nd XI 90-8 (20; Kate Scott-Griffiths 36, Alex Wilson 2-20) (7pts) • Woodley here they recorded their fifth win from six and provided they can fulfil all of their fixtures in the remaining weeks, could yet challenge for the Division 3 East crown. July 26: July 26: Appleton 2nd XI 124-2 (20; Amy Jones 35ret, Katy McLean 35ret, Emily Page 28*) (25pts) Lymm Oughtrington Park 63-7 (20; Carol Ingham 29, Amy Jones 3-0, Eloise Jackson 2-5) (3pts) (All Appleton wickets were Retired Out, so Lymm do not receive bowling bonus points) • Amy Jones had a superb all-round match as Appleton seconds remained unbeaten by other Division Three East sides – they have lost two cross-divisional fixtures. July 30: Appleton 2nd XI 125-3 (20; Becky Jones 25ret, Sylvia Christelow 25ret) (25pts) Didsbury 2nd XI 83 (19.4; Kate Scott-Griffiths 28*, Amy Jones 3-12, Ella Oldland 2-7, Christelow 2-14) (7pts) • Another victory for Appleton and another total of greater than a run a ball. August 1: Lymm Oughtrington Park beat Marple – no further details available at present Division Three Cross-Divisional – July 31: Nantwich 93-5 (20; Grace Michell 46, Izzi Pearson 24, Abi Barlow 2-6) (9pts) Woodley 95-7 (20; Barlow 50*, Sophie Winward 2-6, Bethan Robinson 2-16) (25pts) • Abi Barlow’s half-century guided Woodley to victory off the final ball. This result keeps alive Woodley’s hopes of winning the Eastern Division, and after their rivals Nantwich faltered here, took Upton within one win of the Western Division. August 5: Upton 121-8 (30; Charlie Scudder 32, Kate Robinson 4-28, Georgie Morton 2-34) (10pts) Woodley 123-9 (27.1; Becky Baldock 33*, Claire Anderton 29, Ellen McGowan 4-16, Hannah McGowan 3-26, Charlie Scudder 2-26) (25pts) • Having been unbeaten all year in their first season, Upton tasted their first defeat just when they were one win away from wrapping up their divisional title. Meanwhile, Woodley’s good run of form continues. Division Three matches awaiting re-arrangement: Hawarden Park v Chester Boughton Hall 2nd XI, Chester Boughton Hall 2nd XI v Woodley, Hawarden Park v Lymm Oughtrington Park, Chester Boughton Hall 2nd XI v Upton Player loans: Barbara Offord – Oakmere to Lymm Oughtrington Park Claire Anderton, Becky Baldock – Ashton-on-Mersey to Woodley In response to recent requests for this information, teenage centurions in league history include: Jenny Halstead (Poynton) 191 on 20/7/2005 aged 18 years 2 months Hannah Gradwell (Stockport Trinity) 155 on 8/7/2012 aged 18 years 5 months Sophie Ecclestone (Chester BH) 133* on 8/5/2016 aged 17 years 0 months Bhumika Doshi (Bolton Indians) 125 on 5/5/2013 aged 17 years 2 months Lydia Slack (Romiley & Dinting) 121 on 14/6/2009 aged 17 years 8 months Ellie Mason (Stockport Trinity) 105 on 11/6/2017 aged 17 years 9 months Megan Cureton (Oxton) 103* on 15/7/18 aged 16 years 10 months Hannah Snape (Chester BH) 102* on 22/7/2018 aged 15 years 10 months Nalisha Patel (Astley Bridge) 102* on 7/6/2015 aged 17 years 3 months Vicky Latham (Chester BH) 102* on 5/8/2007 aged 16 years 5 months Hannah Gradwell (Stockport Trinity) 100* on 10/7/11 aged 17 years 5 months Phoebe Cottam (Oakmere) 100* on 3/7/2016 aged 18 years 10 months Natalie Heap (Hawarden Park) 100 on 22/6/2008 aged 18 years 2 months This all means that the recent century by Megan Cureton did not break the record for the league’s youngest player into three figures, as she was five months older than Vicky Latham was at the time of her big innings. However, the century by Hannah Snape the following week did indeed eclipse the previous record. Hannah Gradwell is the only player to score two league centuries in her teenage years, and the scores by Gradwell and Jenny Halstead remain the highest scores in league history by any batsman, junior or senior. The next meeting of the League Committee will take place on Wednesday August 15 at 1930 at Oakmere CC. T20 DIVISIONAL COMPETITION Western Division – July 30: Oakmere Kats v Chester Boughton Hall Deemons – match cancelled due to rain, will not be re-arranged. August 3: Appleton Tigers 101-6 (20; Emma Barlow 27ret, Georgia Heath 22, Katie Haszeldine 2-13, Morganne Prince 2-13) Wistaston Swans 97-2 (20; Katie Haszeldine 26ret, Katie Bennett 25ret) • This narrow win confirmed Appleton’s place as winners of the Western Division, and that they will now play Stockport Trinity in both senior cup finals on Finals Day Eastern Division – August 1: Stockport Trinity Fire 108-4 (20; Jennie Kitzinger 28ret, Kate Harvey 25ret, Gaby McKeever 25ret) Didsbury Swordettes 77-6 (20; Leesa Mellon 21*, Katy Hart 2-11) • Trinity finished the Eastern Division with a 100 per cent record and now will play in two different finals on Finals Day on August 19. Jennie Kitzinger made an unbeaten 28 and took one wicket on what was her last appearance in Cheshire club cricket. KNOCKOUT CUPS Knockout Cup Semi-Final – July 26: Stockport Trinity Fire 114-5 (20; Jennie Kitzinger 28ret, Emma Royle 25ret, Gaby McKeever 20, Amna Malik 2-31) Didsbury Swordettes 110-3 (20; Hannah Jones 26ret, Roshini Prince-Navaratnam 25ret, Leesa Mellon 23, Sophie McArdle 2-29) • Stockport Trinity maintained their 100% record in all competitions this year, but only by the skin of their teeth in a thrilling clash, ending Didsbury’s hopes of a third successive final in this competition. This will be their first Knockout Cup Final. July 31: Appleton Tigers 125-4 (20; Eloise Jackson 27ret, Georgia Heath 26ret, Emma Barlow 25ret, Charlotte Cross 22*, Ali Cutler 2-17, Charlotte Thompson 2-20) Chester Boughton Hall Deemons 54 (13.3; Cutler 21, Nathalie Long 5-9, Olivia Horsfield 3-13) • This was Appleton’s fourth win over Chester in the various competitions this year, and on this occasion it was a commanding win, scoring at more than six per over before dismissing their opponents cheaply. Georgia Heath and Eloise Jackson reached the retirement score in just 15 and 14 balls respectively, before some brilliant bowling from Nathalie Long and Olivia Horsfield completed the job. The Knockout Cup has so often been Chester’s competition, but not this year, and Finals Day without the Deemons is indeed an unusual event.

    Porthill wrap up Western Division with two matches to spare despite being given another scare by Upton … Didsbury edge the first of the two top of the table clashes in the Eastern Division, but Trinity remain in the hunt … September is ECB’s Women’s Cricket Big Month CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Summer Series Western Division – August 30: Porthill Park 60-9 (30; Becky Cripwell 29, Philippa Dagger 3-5, Madi Arthur 2-9, Hannah McGowan 2- 10, Sophie Morris 2-11) (25pts) Upton 51-9 (30; Charlie Scudder 12, Amy Scerri 3-12, Cripwell 2-2, Lucy Shenton 2-4, Grace Potts 2- 5) (5pts) • Porthill Park are the winners of the Western Division for 2020, sealing the honours with two matches to spare. The Potteries-based club have undoubtedly been the best team, but once again didn’t have everything their own way as they wrapped up the title. However, despite posting a target of just two runs per over, Porthill’s bowlers took early wickets and never relinquished their grip. Amongst some impressive bowling figures Philippa Dagger’s outstanding season for Upton continued; and Becky Cripwell conceded just two runs in her six overs, having also held the Porthill innings together earlier, and she is a strong contender for the league’s best all-rounder of the season. Chester Boughton Hall 79-7 (20; Ali Cutler 45, Molly Price 3-8, Alexa Harrison 3-14) (25pts) Oxton 32 (18.3; Freya Davies 12, Gemma Rose 3-4, Tilly Buss 2-0, Nandu Valliyil 2-7) (4pts) • Ali Cutler’s innings stood out on a day when no other batsman passed 12.

  • Dinner Newsletter
    LEAGUE NEWSLETTER: NOVEMBER 2016 Keeping you connected … What kind of Sunday 3rd XI cricket do you want? CLUBS attending the Special General Sunday Third XI meeting at Warrington on October 19 were asked to state the type of cricket they prefer to play in 2017. A satisfactory turn out of 34 clubs spoke mainly in favour of continuing with the current five division regionalised league structure, although with the rules of selection relaxed in some way to allow young 1st XI players to take part and improve what is perceived to be their alternative discipline. A number of other clubs spoke in favour of forming a friendly structure with up to 12 games per season because they were unable to commit to a full competitive programme, yet wanted Sunday cricket for their players. It was suggested that these fixtures would be set out by the league and structured in a geographical manner as far as possible, without any qualification restrictions. Chairman David Humpage said after the meeting: “We need to find out which format clubs prefer next season. We shall be asking all clubs to respond to a questionnaire as set out below. QUESTION 1: Would you prefer to play in: (a) The current league structure or (b) A friendly structure QUESTION 2: How many teams would your club anticipate fielding in either category. QUESTION 3: If it proves impractical to operate a friendly structure for numerical or geographical reasons, would your club in (b) be willing to take part in a league structure? Clubs were asked to respond by e-mail to: [email protected] by November 30.

  • Champions Hyde Rout Toft for 85
    Cheshire County Cricket League 2016 NEWSLETTER : WEEK 5 - MAY 21 Champions Hyde rout Toft for 85 A WEEK after amassing 372-6 at Chester, Toft were rolled over for 85 at home to Hyde, who showed they are determined to complete a hat-trick of ECB Premier League titles. Put in to bat, hitherto unbeaten Toft were dismissed in 25 overs by Aussie paceman Will Walker, 5-36 and spinner Dan Cranmer, 4-25. Nine Toft batsmen were out for single figures, top scorer being the erstwhile prolific Rob Jones, with 21. In reply, Hyde posted 87-1 in 11 overs, Harry Dearden 34 not out Alderley Edge made it four wins in five at the top of the table at promoted Timperley, whom they bowled out for 107. The damage – in the absence of Jordan Clark – was done by by Richard Wilkinson, 4-23 and Andy Windle 4-27. Only Mike Ness, with 37, put up much resistance. Alderley also struggled in reply against the pace of Jack White (4- 50) before reaching 110-6, Calum Rowe 26. Highest scoring game was at Parkgate, where Neston and Bramhall totalled 554 runs in a highly- entertaining draw. For Neston, Simon Mugava scored 155 out of 288-6, an innings including 20 fours and three sixes in company with Pritvi Sarvaija, 44 in a fifth wicket stand worth 160. Aussie Dale McKay was in prime form in Bramhall’s reply, an innings of 152 carrying his side to 268-9. Neston shaded the points 15 – 7. Rain deprived Nantwich of a home victory over Cheadle after they had posted 212, Ray Doyle 81, Nathan Buck 3-53.

Madi Hudson was the hero, leading the way with 71 at almost a run a ball, being joined by Charlotte Neal for a century partnership. Leyland lost regular wickets in reply as they struggled with their imposing target. A trip to Yorkshire to play Sessay – the club that defeated Didsbury at the same stage in 2018 and 2019 – now awaits the Vipers. June 10: JG Meakin 132-4 (20; Davina Perrin 60*, Stephanie Butler 34, Rosemary Cockle 23, Evelyn Jones 2- 18) Porthill Park 98 (18.1; Becky Cripwell 42, Butler 4-14, Hannah Beasley 2-13) • Porthill's involvement in the competition ended after defeat in this tough assignment against JG Meakin, who can still call on a large number of Staffordshire's senior squad. This is the first time a League side has been beaten by a club from another league in this year's competition.

  • 1896 Australian Team for 18 Runs Long After Details Are Forgotten
    Saturday 4 January, page 7: CRICKET “Wisden” this year quite maintains its good name as the standard record of the game. Cricketers invariably look for a fresh feature to introduce them to the analysis of the previous summer’s work; and, although the present volume contains no such heated controversy as “throwing in first-class cricket,” dealt with in the last annual, those who follow the great national pastime will find something of which the true cricketer never tires of hearing – the genius of W G Grace. In a year made famous by the champion’s completion of his hundred hundreds the editor of “Wisden” found his special subject almost imperative, and called in the aid, in the way of contributions, of Lord Harris, the president of the Marylebone Club, and Mr A G Steel. Both given their reminiscences of the greatest of players, and both will e read with interest. But one would have liked them longer. Mr Steel writes cricket almost as well as he played it, and more might well have been acceptable from the gentleman who helped to give the cricket volume of “Badminton” its great popularity. Mr Steel describes Dr Grace’s style of batting, and in closing his chapter pays the following tribute: - “There have been some who for a short period have given reason for the belief that his position as champion batsman was being dangerously assailed. I allude to such names as W L Murdoch, A Shrewsbury and A E Stoddart. That belief was, however, fleeting. W G Grace has proved his batting to be immensely superior to every other cricketer.” Lord Harris believes that W.G.’s later style of batting is quite different from what it was between 1870 and 1880, and explains in what way.

  • Kent County Cricketers a to Z
    Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919-1939 By Derek Carlaw Statistics by John Winnifrith This collection of biographies have been written, on behalf of the ACS, by Derek Carlaw. For those readers wishing to obtain more detailed statistical information, it is recommended that a search is undertaken on the relevant pages of the CricketArchive website ( http://cricketarchive.com/ ). Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919 to 1939 Introduction Part Two of the Kent A to Z covers the 92 cricketers who made their entry into first-class cricket for Kent between the wars. With 12 Championship titles, 330 wins and only 49 defeats, Yorkshire dominated throughout the two decades, but Kent could reasonably claim to be the most successful of the Southern counties, twice ending runners-up and in only three seasons failing to finish in the top half of the table. During those inter-war years, cricket was becoming increasingly professional. Of the names listed in the county averages in the 1921 Wisden, over 57% were amateurs. By 1931 the figure had fallen to 41%; and in the last pre-war season it was down to 33%. Kent, in common with one or two other counties, fought hard against the prevailing trend. Throughout the period, they stuck to their long- established policy of endeavouring to field a minimum of three amateurs in every match. In practice, they were quite frequently unable to do so, especially early in the season but, of the 92 cricketers listed in the following pages, 60, i.e. over 65%, were, in the idiom of the time, ‘Gentlemen’.

The business of the meeting will include: • Reports from League Officers • Elections involving candidates wishing to stand for League Officer positions for the next 12 months.

Porthill Park 50-7 (16; Ilenia Sims 32*, Ellie Mason 4-22, Emma Royle 3-16) (12pts) Stockport Trinity dnb (12pts) • This match also failed to go the distance, but there was no suggestion here that Porthill’s fortunes were improving. Still without a win, the Potteries side saw all their batters bar Ilenia Sims sent back cheaply by Ellie Mason and Emma Royle. Didsbury v Leigh – Cancelled due to rain, 8pts each July 11: Stockport Trinity 175-4 (40; Ellie Mason 97, Jenny Dunn 56, Rosy Wilson 2-26) (7pts) Didsbury 177-4 (34.3; Roshini Prince-Navaratnam 105, Rosie Davies 25, Dunn 2-45) (25pts) • Didsbury continue to lead the way after completing what could have been a tricky run chase with relative ease. Roshini Prince-Navaratnam batted superbly before falling for 105 just before the close, having reached her fifty with only 65 on the board and then adding another 65 for the third wicket with Rosie Davies in the period when the game really turned in Didsbury’s favour.

  • National Knockout Cheshire Women's League
    Nantwich and Leigh exit the competition after great runs to regional finals of National KO … Didsbury well placed in both Division 1 and T20 East … Division 2 still wide open … Woodley and Hawarden maintain unbeaten records in regional Division 3s … Nominations sought for League XI to play MCC NATIONAL KNOCKOUT Northern Regional Final – June 27: Nantwich Vipers 87-4 (20; Katie Haszledine 24) Sessay Emeralds 88-2 (14.3; Amy Burton 38*, Phoebe Turner 25) • Nantwich’s National Knockout adventure ended here in the regional final – the last eight nationally. After some superb wins in previous rounds, the Vipers found the task of beating leading Yorkshire club Sessay just too tough. Northern Regional Plate Final – June 27: Leigh 92-6 (20; Ellie Davey 42, Danielle Collins 26, Ellie Cowley 2-7, Imogen Cooper 2-12) Wrenthorpe 93-3 (18.3; Beth Absolon 22, Gabriella Copley 21) • Leigh – beaten by Nantwich back in the first round – made the most of their early exit from the main competition by proceeding to this stage of the Plate, but like Nantwich today, they probably didn’t post enough runs batting first to be truly competitive. Nevertheless, the achievements this year of the clubs who entered the National have greatly enhanced the League’s standing and showed how well our clubs match up against teams from other leagues. CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Division One – June 20: Oakmere 153 (39; Shami Ahmed 60, Eleanor Brennan 5-22, Emma Royle 2-31) (25pts) Stockport Trinity 132-7 (40; Ellie Mason 82, Sarah McCann 32, Natalie Lyons 5-6, Dawn Prestidge 2- 10) (9pts) • Unbeaten Oakmere negotiated one of the major hurdles in their quest to regain the Championship.
